GEP’s founders envisioned in 1999 a commitment to sharing success with the communities we serve, especially under-served and at-risk populations.
This vision evolved into a global focus on women, children, literacy, and food insecurity. We believe gender equality, education, and proper nutrition are fundamental to personal growth—so we work to level the playing field.
We are especially proud of our long-term sponsorship of both Ekal Foundation, a non-profit organization on a mission to bring basic education to every child across rural India, and Akshaya Patra, the world's largest NGO school meal program, providing hot, nutritious, school meals to 1.7 million children across India. Without access to education and adequate nutrition, no child can realize their potential.
Through GEP Social Initiatives (GEPSI), our employees actively support local philanthropic efforts across our global offices.

GEPSI
GEPSI began, as many success stories do, with the efforts of one person. A consultant based in the United States took a trip to Ethiopia and came back filled with gratitude and a desire to help those who are less fortunate.
The effort was launched in the United States office in 2009 and spread to our offices in India in early 2010, when Women@GEP India banded together to spread awareness about contemporary social issues, engage with non-profits and local communities, and collaborate with them to help meet their needs.
All our offices around the world participate in GEPSI activities and fundraisers.
One person with an idea in 2009 turned into hundreds of GEP employees around the world. GEP people care and they make a difference by working together.
